Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Chapter 1234 An Overnight Wait

Sebastian left Aquene Temple that afternoon.

Devin had wanted to accompany him since Sebastian’s condition was far from stable.

Still, his offer was met with a firm refusal.

There were many issues to settle in Jadeborough, chief of which was Silas’ precarious ratings after Eddie’s fiasco. Without a member of the Jadeson family in the White House to show support, it would be challenging to stabilize the political climate in Jadeborough.

Plus, Sebastian needed someone to follow up on Jonathan.

Devin eventually agreed to stay behind.

“Uncle Shin, I’ll be heading off then.”

Unlike Sebastian, Devin had no qualms about calling the old monk his uncle after uncovering his true identity.

To his surprise, Shin seemed reluctant to accept his address.

“Mr. Jadeson, I am now Master Abner, and I hope that you will continue to address me as such in the future.”

Devin stared blankly at the old monk, not knowing what to say.
